It’s a joke. Don’t fauce it.

No, your honour, I did not wear blackface to trivialise the suffering of people who came from Africa. I wore blackface to hide from Facebook Glasses.

Ooh - FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Agreed, but there’s a real cost involved and a real cost analysis to do. Like with the question of people upgrading to more efficient cars (and scrapping the old) or running the old for longer to minimise car manufacture.

Would it really be peanuts? Solar panel manufacture isn’t exactly cheap, nor entirely sustainable (see, for instance, the black market for sand; and economics/politics over lithium mining). Solar panels also degrade; new technology replaces old and has to be paid for and made and installed; the infrastructure tying it all together isn’t free either…

I feel like solar power, for all its excellence, is not as simple as upgrade as my rts-/tycoon-/sim-gamer’s mind thinks it should be.

I think they’re taking about battery chickens; just don’t tell the vegans that’s how we store electricity!

Well then there is another way of seeing this: there is an engineering/difficulty with such large power fluctuations that “drive electricity prices negative” because it implies a much more variable demand on existing power infrastructure.

I saw an article about one trained on research papers. (Built by Meta, maybe?) It also spewed out garbage: it would make up answers that mimicked the style of the papers but had its own fabricated content! Something about the largest nuclear reactor made of cheese in the world…

It also gives context for what way things could be worse. Compared to a completely dissociated suggestion like, “the entire universe didn’t spontaneously turn into farts therefore this isn’t the worst timeline.”

It demonstrates how things could be worse, but aren’t.

Cheese is the answer. The worst possible timeline would not have cheese.

I don’t think so. It reads to me like, if one day of massive violence from people generally, happened, then after that the police would be given freedom to crack down severely on everything.

“Fear leads to…‘the security of My New Empire’”

Addendum: I re-read the quote and now I feel I can read it either way.

While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.

The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.

From different plants. Straw is from, I think, cereals (wheat, barley, etc) whereas hay is from grass(es?).

There was a Beatles song about the straw man logical fallacy, wasn’t there?

OKay, Right?

Means having a chill attitude, especially when you screw up badly right in front of your supervisor.

Public Key Infrastructure

Means your offices are locked not by company private keys but by public statutes of the state, and a court order will make them unlock.

Give up. Go home.

Thanks for the explanation!

This would presumably let x86 windows games run on ARM hardware.

Doesn’t that require something quite different?

Proton is improved (matured?) WINE, right? And Wine Is Not an Emulator - the point being it doesn’t emulate hardware, it translates instruction sets. From for-Windows x86 to Linux x86. Can you do that cross cpu architecture?
